Martial arts is a great alternative because the classes are fun and inspiring. Consistency is the key to any fitness program and it is so difficult to stay consistent at the gym. A good proportion of our students got bored with a traditional gym and have been enrolled in our academy for over 6 years. If you are looking to get in great shape, make sure to ask about our JKD kickboxing classes. The kickboxing aspect of our martial art teaches real self defense but can also get you stronger, faster, and more energized.

Self Defense

The confidence of being able to protect oneself and/or a loved one should a situation arise where walking away is not an option. The foremost importance of the study of martial arts is to protect oneself and not to hurt others.

Physical Fitness

Being physically fit gives a person energy and confidence to handle daily endeavors, activities, as well as combative situations. The student achieves physical fitness by various strength and conditioning exercises done during the class. Being physically fit is a crucial component of being "of sound mind".

Peace of mind

Hear what our students have to say!

I've been a member of NY Martial Arts Academy since 2003. As a law enforcement officer, I chose this school because it teaches Bruce Lee's martial art, Jeet Kune Do. A realistic art that takes a scientific approach to self defense based on the human body and the laws of physics. The head instructor, Sifu Dino Orfanos, is not only skilled and knowledgeable, but also passionate about the art, teaching it with enthusiasm. Through seminars held by the school I've had the opportunity to meet and train with JKD greats Ted Wong & Chris Kent; Two invaluable sources in the art. Even though I joined NYMAA becuase I felt it was practical for my line of work, I continue to train there because of the good people there and the fun environment. I look forward to working out, and that's a good thing. - Law Enforcement Officer and Student of NY Martial Arts Academy

I have been training at NY Martial Arts Academy for many years, starting from the Little Neck location. As an older man, I was always weary of where I could go learn martial arts without getting treated differently because of my age. Immediately at NYMAA I felt right at home. All of the instructors are very welcoming, always greeting you and making you feel comfortable. NYMAA is somewhere where I will stay for a long time because the art they teach, Jeet Kune Do, is truly the most fulfilling art to study. Definitely try this place. - Panagiotis Papanikolaou
